    Biden’s problem isn’t old age, it’s dementia. Sanders is also very old but still quite healthy of mind.

    But those two alternatives are monsters, which don’t even compare to an ill man.

    voters want change

    Wasn’t that why they voted for Trump? Look where that got them. There are plenty of good politicians in the pool (e.g. Sanders and over here we had Corbyn) who would bring change. But apparently not the change they want. What change exactly is this? Not the good of the whole, evidently. I’m of the view that corrupt politicians are just the downriver. The source of the pollution is the population itself. We have to face the fact that a part of our population are either becoming fascists or already have. I don’t believe it’s a large fraction yet but all it takes is an unchecked rotten apple to rot the entire basket.

      He also has a stutter, isn’t a natural orator and naturally has age related decline. Anyone his age would.

      The problem is, we saw what happened when people didn’t vote for Hillary because she wasn’t ideal.
